With three gay bars within a half-mile of each other in Raleigh's Warehouse District, it can be hard to choose one over another. Yet on Thursdays there's no question--Flex is the place to be, where Trailer Park Trash Night begins around midnight. This comical drag show combines lip-syncing acts with skits, and performers drag guests on stage to compete for prizes like oven mitts and tacky light fixtures. Other nights, Flex hosts karaoke, line dancing lessons, pool tournaments and cheap drink specials. If it's your first time here don't be intimidated. Just descend the street level stairs and step inside. Since most people are there to set their sights on fellas, no one seems to mind the grungy basement atmosphere.

The place for MEN....NOT Bois
By sswilliewc on 04/02/2006
Flex is a great place if you like to hang out with men and not a bunch of boys or grown men trying to act like boys, if thats your thing then head to legends or CCs, but if you like to just hang out and have some good conversations with men then this is the best place in Raleigh.

FLEX is a dive.. What would anyone expect.. that is just what it is.. I've always had a good time socializing there.. FLEX bar staff are friendly and pour a good (and cheap)drink.. btw.. to those of you that can figure out that there is a parking lot right behind the bar (open your eyes) or just park on the street.. with Tailer trash night, country line dancing night and Karoake nights FLEX is a hit for all folks, if they would simply embrace the bar for what it is and have a good time.. BTW sunday nights rock..

I Miss Flex
By kuntryboi43 on 11/12/2004
While Flex is a bit small and sometimes crowded, you can always go there and feel at home. After leaving Raleigh, it was one of my greatest misses, esp. Thurs nights after bowling!
